MOC Course Retirements
With the transition to Microsoft Learn, Microsoft has updated their retirement policy. Classes can no longer be scheduled after the retirement date. This date coincides with the date the courseware is also retired off Microsoft Learn. Course Retirement dates can be found here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/certifications/retired-courses
How to Recieve an Azure Pass
Microsoft has announced that as of April 1, 2023, Learning Partners will no longer be able to order Azure Passes from Courseware Marketplace. Learning Partners will receive Azure Passes directly from their preferred Authorized Lab Hosters (ALHs).
Skillable is ready to make this transition seamless for you and your learners. For courses still receiving Azure Passes after April 1, Skillable will provide Azure Passes directly to your Instructors and learners in the MOC lab UI, the same way we provide M365 tenants today in the Resources Tab of the instruction pane.
Here is an example of what the Resources tab will look like for a course that received both a Tenant and an Azure Pass after the transition:
